  • Fun, but buggy

    I was really enjoying the game (simple gameplay and no ads), until I ran into a seemingly insurmountable bug. On level 64 it wants me to clear tiles of three different colors, but one of those colors doesn’t spawn on the board at all. I tried restarting the level and force closing and restarting the app, but the bug persists. Either I’m missing something simple, or the game is just unplayable for me now.

    Lots of fun when it works though.

    Hello! This bug should be fixed in the latest update! If you run into any more bugs, please email me at mulberrytreegames@gmail.com and I will get them fixed ASAP! Thanks for playing :)
  • Excellent game

    I love that this game is a premium title: no ads, lives, or in-app purchases. It’s 4 stars right now because there is a bug on level 224. There are no white cover pieces to break, so level 224 right now is impossible to complete. Hope there will be a bug fix soon. I do have a couple suggestions that I hope to see in the future:

    1. iCloud support to sync across devices
    2. Landscape support for iPad

    Overall, it’s a great game and I’m looking forward to future updates!

    Hello there! Thanks so much for your review and I’m glad you’re enjoying the game! The white cover piece bug will be fixed in the 1.5 update! I definitely try to get any bugs fixed ASAP! I will also consider adding cloud sync and landscape support :)
  • Great game, wonderful app support!

    I love how relaxing this game is, and when I hit a level that had a bug causing me to not be able to continue, the support was quick to get it fixed!
  • Crashes on opening…

    :(

  • Really nice

    Love how clean and straightforward this is, and that it’s a straight purchase, no ads or pay to win.

    A minor feature request - I love the tule sets, but don’t really want to manually swap them out. I’d love an option to randomly switch between unlocked tile sets on every level so I can see more of the adorable art.

    Hello and thanks for your review! I will definitely consider adding an option to randomly switch up the tiles!
  • Great Match Three

    Really glad I purchased this game. Lots of fun for the low price. My problem with most match 3 games are the gimmicks, ads, grinding, or pay-to-win that comes with most (if not all) of them. This dev made a super clean, super fun version with none of that. You make your way through boards, winning achievements to unlock different symbol/color tiles you can use as you please. Different obstacles like gaps, blocks, fans and blobs are presented along the way that you have to navigate or destroy. Power ups are available to help when stuck. Really like that you can use a turn to move even if the move doesn’t result in a match. I set an original goal to get three stars on a level before moving on, but had to abandon that around level 70 due to seemingly impossible score objectives. I now replay every level until getting at least two stars. I got stuck on level 138 for a couple days, but wasn’t the start of an inevitable wall where even the one star targets make boards completely unsolvable. Really solid mobile game. Some small fixes to suggest would be 1) that moving a match into a T shape should result in a power up 2) a few levels said I had a obstacles remaining when the board was clear 3) having left over moves should get you more extra points toward stars and 4) leftover power ups should auto execute after 0 moves left. Currently on level 233. Great mind exerciser and time killer. Great job dev. 10/10 would recommend.

    Thanks so much for your detailed 5 star review! I’m glad you’re enjoying the game :) I will definitely take all of your feedback into consideration! The 1.2 update that just released gives you slightly more points for left over moves, so hopefully that helps. I was able to pass all levels with 2 stars, and 3 stars is supposed to be a challenge, but if there are any levels that seem impossible please email me at mulberrytreegames@gmail.com and I can consider adjusting some things!
  • Exactly what I've been looking for

    This is a match 3 with no ads or subscription, exactly what I've been looking for on sleepless nights with a newborn! The color and symbol customization is a lovely feature! The only thing I'd add would be some dark background tiles, or a way to make the existing tiles' backgrounds dark.

    Thanks so much for your 5 star review! And glad it’s helping you get through those sleepless nights with a newborn, I was there not too long ago myself! I will definitely take your feedback into consideration!

  • Fun version of match3

    Definitely worth the cost! Great version. (I’ve now hit the black squares that spread, and I can’t skip them, so I guess I'm done now with it… 😆)

    Thanks for your 5 star review! Glad you’re having fun with the game!
  • Visually appealing, calm and simple

    I think the tiles are adorable and I really appreciate the absence of ads. There are power-ups and rewards, which are fine but I like that they are not intrusive. I wish there was a legend that explained how the rainbow tiles work. Sometimes I move them and nothing happens. I haven’t quite figured out what makes them work and I’ve wasted lots of moves trying to crack the code. Other than that, I like the music and the overall design.

    Developer Response

    Hi there! Thanks so much for your review! The rainbow tiles will activate when you start the swap with them. If you swap them with another tile but start the swap with that other tile, they will not activate. The idea is that then you can strategically move them without activating them if you need to. Sorry for all the wasted moves! I hope to release an update soon that will add this info to the tutorial :)
